Cat Sitting in Holyoke

“Ace is an incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and caring sitter. We booked her to care for our two older cats and she was so communicative and kind to the little guys. One of our cats needs a subcutaneous injection daily, and she did a wonderful job delivering it - even when he was being difficult. I couldn’t recommend Ace enough, and am definitely going to book her again in the future.”

About: Hello! Thank you for visiting my profile! My name is Saige, I also go by Ziggy. I am a part-time environmental sciences student living with my partner, two canine children, and four feline children in the Easthampton area. I have over 11 years experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and rodents. In the 11 years I’ve been caring for animals I have raised and trained two dogs from puppyhood. Over the years, I have worked with various animal rescue groups as a foster aiding in the rehabilitation of traumatized dogs. In addition to knowledge of dog body language and psychology, I also have experience in medication administration, cleaning and dressing different wounds and post-surgery stitches. While your dog is with me, we will go for walks, hikes, the dog park (with parental approval),play in the backyard, practice some tricks, get massages, a bath, and lots of cuddles and kisses! If you think I might be a good match for your pet, let’s talk! I am currently a part-time student taking classes remotely. This allows me the time and flexibility to take on multiple customers while catering to the individual needs of each dog. While our foster Mylo loves everyone, we do own a female Staffy/Lab mix who is dog-selective. However, we are able to effectively rotate dogs who do not get along.

“Kylie is an absolutely wonderful sitter! My cats are happy and well cared for and I feel like we had good communication throughout. We’ve already booked another stay 😊”

About: What does a Disney princess, & dr.dolittle have in common with me? Animals tend to trust & understand us. I find happiness in caring for animals & understand the guilt when you have to go somewhere without your companion. I’m reliable, communicative & take really great photos I’d love to share with you! I work remote, and would like to utilize my abilitity to be home during my breaks and lunch hour, to assist other with their animal care needs. Happy to follow your schedule & system that works in your home. I understand consistency with your companion & keeping in contact so you’re aware of everything that’s happening while you’re away. I understand that piece of mind is everything.

“Will definitely be booking Justin again! He took great care of my older cat and communicated well with me throughout my vacation. Highly recommend!”

About: I have many years of experience taking care of dogs of all sizes, and am a true animal lover. I will treat your pets like they are a member of the family when they are in my care. I am a nurse with a very flexible schedule. I am available for boarding your pups on weekends and weekdays. Also available for drop-in visits at your home or dog-walking as needed. For boarding clients, I have a large fully fenced-in back yard, and two fur-babies of my own to keep your pup(s) company. My two 30 lb whippets love to run and play with other dogs. Also have the ability to separate dogs in my home if your dog prefers their own space away from other dogs when visiting.

About: Nice to meet you! I’m thrilled you decided to visit my Rover page to read a little about me. Hi there! I'm Viki — a devoted, passionate, dedicated animal companion and advocate with a calm, caring presence and over 15 years of hands-on experience with pups of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I have a deep respect for every pet's personality: Whether your furry friend is a playful, curious little one focusing on potty breaks and training support, to playtime and structure for those energetic adults, to gentle walks and extra comfort for sweet senior companions to those pups who are shy and sensitive, or those who require assistance or have wheels, or maybe you have that rambunctious pup and ya just can’t figure out how to get rid of that extra energy (or weight) — it can turn into things like lunging, reactivity, misguided aggression, I’m ready to meet them where they are — with thoughtful, personalized patience and care every animal deserves. My goal is simple: to ensure your family member is safe, relaxed, loved, and happy while you're away — and to give you peace of mind knowing they're in kind, capable hands. I’m reliable, intuitive and we’ll tailor your pet’s care plan to meet their specific needs, requirements and routines. You’ll receive open and honest communication and your pup will receive a tail-wagging good time! If you’re looking for someone who truly understands animals, and will care for yours with compassion and skill, I’d love to meet your fur family and you! **Please contact me for current rates** rates may change without notice / rates are non-negotiable. (No boarding at this time). Pet care is a regular and important part of my daily and weekly routine. I structure my schedule around the pets I care for ensuring I’m available for their walks, appointments, drop-ins, feedings, medication administration, special needs and playtime. I’m organized, consistently on time and I ensure every furry friend receives the loving care, attention they deserve and they are comfortable before I leave the home. I also build flexibility into my schedule depending on situational needs of my clients. I sincerely enjoy spending time with my each one of my furry friends as their care is my top priority. My expertise comes in, to ensure the needs of my furry friends are met as their parents deserve peace of mind when they’re away. Safety is my Priority! Family’s and I meet before beginning a new journey together. Normal steps for getting to know a new family and their furry family member are the following: — Introductory Phone or Video Call: depending upon technical connection and circumstances. — Schedule a meet and greet: 1/2 hr to 1hr —make a schedule This establishes trust between both parties by getting to know one another, and while I’m there I can do a safety check, at no cost to new clients. I also take meticulous notes during our meeting so nothing is missed.

“This is the first time we’ve left our cat, Mari alone since we moved to Massachusetts. We were really apprehensive about leaving her with someone else, especially since Mari is shy and nervous around new people. However, Isabel turned out to be just the person we were looking for. She was calm and gentle in getting to know our girl. And she was incredibly conscientious, not only with taking care of Mari and our house, but in organizing details and communicating with us. She updated us every day with texts, pictures, and video. And we came home to a calm, happy kitty. We can’t say enough good things about Isabel and highly recommend her.”

About: I’m a life long dog owner of pups both large and small. I have experience caring for animals unfamiliar with me from my time spent volunteering at the Kitsap Humane Society in Washington state. As a child, my dream was to buy a giant piece of land and provide a home to all of the strays and animals overflowing the shelters. I have always had a special touch with animals and I’m the go-to sitter for family, friends, and neighbors. I will love and care for your pets just as I love and care for mine. I am a college student and I run a small business from my home. This leave me with a very flexible schedule. I am happy to work around my client’s individual needs and provide care when they need it most. In my home, I walk my dog around every two hours or when she is showing signs of wanting to go outside. She has free rein of the home and enjoys frequent spoiling throughout the day with lots of pets, praise, and treats.

About: Dogs have been a part of my family for all of the my life. Every family get together wouldn't be complete without a pack of at least 4 dogs playing and generally knocking things over. I have had two dogs of my own now and I keep them happy and healthy with tons of love and exercise. My recently pased husky lived to be almost 16, and was spunjy to the end. My current husky/golden mix is such a prince and I love hiking and spending time outside with him. I spend a lot of my time with my dog giving him structure and love and I understand that special relationship humans have with their hounds. I also understand that not every dog is a happy-go-lucky, tail wagging, "give me pets" sort of dog (my dog certainly isn't with strangers) and that all animals are unique and have their own personalities. I work on understanding and respecting what their individual needs are and put them before my own. I I love working with animals of all kinds, wild, domestic, and agricultural. I respect their boundaries and individuality and gladly invite all kinds of critters into my life! I am a very serious worker and take confidence and whatever I do and try to remain reflective and open to feedback I work full time, but I do have some flexibility to work from home/leave the office when needed. I can also bring a dog into the office with me. I have a fenced in yard and am happy to walk outside rain or shine or snow. Happy to walk in the morning or evening.
